As was said above, bring them the wheels off the car or find another shop. And thank the excessively litigious people of this great nation and their obliging lawyers for your extra hassle. They're also likely the reason we can't close the windows with the fob or get Euro MDM by default.  |

Yup, super conservative shop. They wouldn't sell me a AD08 in 295/30/18 due to the load capacity. Had to order my from Tirerack.
